I've just noticed that the bridge on my Squier Jazz 5er is curling up at the back, the fulcrum is the fixing screws.  It's the standard Fender/Squier improved BBOT, the ones with the solid block rather than being bent and to my eyes looks identical to the one on my Fender P-Bass V.

 

Can I do anything about it or is it a new bridge time, chunkier construction like a Schaller or a BadAss?

 

It's strung with D'Addario ECB81-5 standard tuning.

Tail lift, nothing you can really do about it other than replace the bridge.  If you try to bend it back into shape, it'll just bend up again I reckon.

Pics?

Mounting screws still tight?

I'd be sending pics to Fender asking if there was a 'Bad Batch' along with your address for them to send the free replacement.

Funnily, I was just looking at cheap replacement bridges and noted a comment on one of the budget brands that despite having an all steel base plate, a customer found that several they bought all evenutally bent too easily, so maybe worth buying in to a decent branded example.
